  you

  shall

  you

  from

  between

  the

  that

  the

  I

  will

  speak
• 2:41
  with

  you
• 2:41
  about
• 2:42
  all
• 2:42
  that
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  will
• 2:42
  give
• 2:43
  you
• 2:43
  in
• 2:43
  commandment
• 2:44
  for
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  people
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  Israel
• 2:46
  In
• 2:46
  these
• 2:46
  chapters,
• 2:47
  we
• 2:47
  enter
• 2:47
  a
• 2:47
  very
• 2:48
  lengthy
• 2:48
  speech
• 2:48
  from
• 2:48
  the
• 2:49
  Lord
• 2:49
  about
• 2:49
  exactly
• 2:50
  how
• 2:50
  he
• 2:50
  wants
• 2:50
  his
• 2:51
  home
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  be
• 2:51
  built.
• 2:51
  I
• 2:52
  love
• 2:52
  it
• 2:52
  because
• 2:53
  we
• 2:53
  get
• 2:53
  to
• 2:53
  continually
• 2:54
  hold
• 2:54
  these
• 2:54
  two
• 2:55
  aspects
• 2:55
  of
• 2:55
  God.
• 2:56
  His
• 2:56
  nearness
• 2:57
  also
• 2:57
  known
• 2:57
  as
• 2:58
  his
• 2:58
  imminence
• 2:58
  and
• 2:59
  his
• 2:59
  transcendence.
• 3:00
  He's
• 3:00
  saying,
• 3:01
  I'm
• 3:01
  going
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  draw
• 3:01
  near
• 3:02
  Teal,
• 3:02
  but
• 3:02
  you
• 3:03
  need
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  be
• 3:03
  careful
• 3:03
  with
• 3:04
  how
• 3:04
  you
• 3:04
  approach
• 3:04
  me.
• 3:05
  not
• 3:05
  only
• 3:06
  are
• 3:06
  his
• 3:06
  directions
• 3:06
  for
• 3:07
  beauty,
• 3:07
  they're
• 3:07
  also
• 3:08
  for
• 3:08
  function
• 3:08
  as
• 3:09
  this
• 3:09
  tent
• 3:09
  will
• 3:09
  move
• 3:10
  with
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  people.
• 3:11
  It
• 3:11
  is
• 3:11
  fascinating
• 3:12
  to
• 3:12
  think
• 3:13
  that
• 3:13
  in
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  Book
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  Exodus,
• 3:14
  there
• 3:14
  are
• 3:14
  about
• 3:14
  two
• 3:14
  chapters
• 3:15
  covering
• 3:16
  the
• 3:16
  actual
• 3:16
  exit
• 3:17
  from
• 3:17
  Egypt.
• 3:18
  Then
• 3:18
  not
• 3:18
  even
• 3:19
  a
• 3:19
  chapter
• 3:19
  for
• 3:19
  the
• 3:20
  10
• 3:20
  Commandments,
• 3:21
  and
• 3:21
  then
• 3:21
  13
• 3:22
  chapters
• 3:23
  filled
• 3:23
  with
• 3:23
  directions
• 3:24
  about
• 3:24
  how
• 3:24
  God
• 3:24
  wanted
• 3:25
  his
• 3:25
  tabernacle
• 3:25
  built.
• 3:26
  It
• 3:26
  may
• 3:26
  seem
• 3:27
  lengthy,
• 3:27
  but
• 3:27
  if
• 3:27
  God
• 3:28
  is
• 3:28
  going
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  be
• 3:28
  so
• 3:28
  clear,
• 3:29
  we
• 3:29
  should
• 3:29
  pay
• 3:29
  attention.
• 3:30
  In
• 3:30
  a
• 3:30
  world
• 3:31
  where
• 3:31
  networks
• 3:31
  like
• 3:32
  HGTV
• 3:32
  Thrive,
• 3:33
  we
• 3:33
  should
• 3:33
  certainly
• 3:34
  have
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  attention
• 3:35
  span
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  enter
• 3:36
  in
• 3:36
  with
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  Lord
• 3:36
  when
• 3:36
  he
• 3:37
  tells
• 3:37
  us
• 3:37
  how
• 3:37
  his
• 3:37
  dwelling
• 3:38
  place
• 3:38
  is
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  be
• 3:38
  decorated.
• 3:39
  Perhaps
• 3:39
  you
• 3:40
  can
• 3:40
  imagine
• 3:40
  one
• 3:40
  of
• 3:41
  your
• 3:41
  best
• 3:41
  friends
• 3:41
  telling
• 3:41
  you
• 3:42
  she's
• 3:42
  about
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  remodel
• 3:42
  her
• 3:43
  kitchen.
• 3:43
  And
• 3:43
  if
• 3:43
  you're
• 3:44
  anything
• 3:44
  like
• 3:44
  me,
• 3:45
  you
• 3:45
  wanna
• 3:45
  hear
• 3:45
  exactly
• 3:46
  about
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  whole
• 3:46
  process
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  the
• 3:47
  cabinet
• 3:47
  color,
• 3:48
  and
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  backsplash,
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  sink,
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  countertops.
• 3:50
  And
• 3:50
  don't
• 3:50
  forget
• 3:51
  about
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  light
• 3:51
  fixtures
• 3:51
  and
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  knobs.
• 3:52
  Let's
• 3:53
  look
• 3:53
  to
• 3:53
  God's
• 3:53
  Word
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  same
• 3:54
  level
• 3:55
  of
• 3:55
  anticipation
• 3:56
  and
• 3:56
  excitement.
• 3:56
  The
• 3:56
  Lord
• 3:57
  is
• 3:57
  a
• 3:57
  creator
• 3:57
  of
• 3:57
  gold
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  silver
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  bronze,
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  creator
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  color.
• 4:00
  So
• 4:00
  it's
• 4:00
  neat
• 4:00
  to
• 4:01
  read
• 4:01
  about
• 4:01
  how
• 4:01
  he
• 4:01
  wants
• 4:02
  these
• 4:02
  elements
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  be
• 4:02
  brought
• 4:03
  together
• 4:03
  As
• 4:04
  women,
• 4:04
  God
• 4:04
  often
• 4:05
  uses
• 4:05
  us
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  make
• 4:06
  homes
• 4:06
  for
• 4:06
  our
• 4:06
  families,
• 4:06
  and
• 4:06
  to
• 4:07
  think
• 4:07
  through
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  details
• 4:08
  of
• 4:08
  how
• 4:08
  they'll
• 4:08
  use
• 4:08
  this
• 4:09
  space
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  what
• 4:10
  would
• 4:10
  bless
• 4:10
  them.
• 4:11
  How
• 4:11
  can
• 4:11
  we
• 4:11
  work
• 4:11
  with
• 4:11
  our
• 4:12
  budget
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  our
• 4:12
  resources
• 4:13
  and
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  space
• 4:14
  that
• 4:14
  we
• 4:14
  have
• 4:14
  to
• 4:14
  make
• 4:15
  it
• 4:15
  beautiful?
• 4:15
  And
• 4:15
  if
• 4:16
  you've
• 4:16
  ever
• 4:16
  felt
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  wasn't
• 4:17
  a
• 4:17
  holy
• 4:18
  thing
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  do,
• 4:18
  I
• 4:19
  think
• 4:19
  these
• 4:19
  chapters
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  scripture
• 4:20
  are
• 4:20
  going
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  give
• 4:20
  you
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  new
• 4:21
  perspective
• 4:22
  and
• 4:22
  some
• 4:22
  freedom
• 4:23
  that
• 4:23
  that's
• 4:23
  part
• 4:23
  of
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  way
• 4:23
  that
• 4:24
  God
• 4:24
  created
• 4:24
  us.
• 4:25
  When
• 4:25
  we
• 4:25
  make
• 4:25
  beautiful
• 4:25
  places
• 4:26
  and
• 4:26
  we
• 4:26
  long
• 4:26
  to
• 4:27
  serve
• 4:27
  others,
• 4:27
  I
• 4:28
  really
• 4:28
  think
• 4:28
  that
• 4:28
  we're
• 4:28
  living
• 4:29
  out
• 4:29
  part
• 4:29
  of
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  character
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  God.
• 4:30
  He
• 4:30
  loves
• 4:31
  it
• 4:31
  when
• 4:31
  things
• 4:31
  are
• 4:31
  done
• 4:32
  well
• 4:32
  and
• 4:32
  beauty
• 4:33
  is
• 4:33
  created,
• 4:34
  instead
• 4:34
  of
• 4:34
  feeling
• 4:34
  shame.
• 4:35
  If
• 4:35
  that's
• 4:35
  a
• 4:35
  hobby
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  yours,
• 4:36
  invite
• 4:36
  him
• 4:36
  in
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  let
• 4:37
  prayer
• 4:37
  be
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  part
• 4:38
  of
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  process.
• 4:38
  Once
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  was
• 4:39
  setting
• 4:39
  my
• 4:39
  table
• 4:40
  for
• 4:40
  Easter
• 4:40
  and
• 4:41
  I
• 4:41
  was
• 4:41
  trying
• 4:41
  so
• 4:41
  diligently
• 4:42
  to
• 4:42
  stay
• 4:42
  within
• 4:42
  a
• 4:42
  budget,
• 4:43
  I
• 4:43
  found
• 4:43
  some
• 4:44
  beautiful
• 4:45
  ous
• 4:45
  blooms
• 4:45
  for
• 4:45
  only
• 4:45
  6
• 4:46
  99,
• 4:46
  and
• 4:46
  I
• 4:46
  was
• 4:47
  so
• 4:47
  excited.
• 4:47
  But
• 4:48
  when
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  placed
• 4:48
  them
• 4:48
  on
• 4:48
  my
• 4:49
  table
• 4:49
  and
• 4:49
  little
• 4:49
  vo
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  glasses,
• 4:50
  it
• 4:50
  was
• 4:51
  so
• 4:51
  obvious
• 4:52
  something
• 4:52
  was
• 4:52
  lacking
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  a
• 4:53
  centerpiece
• 4:54
  was
• 4:54
  required.
• 4:54
  Eventually
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  just
• 4:55
  surrendered
• 4:55
  But
• 4:56
  on
• 4:56
  Easter
• 4:56
  morning
• 4:57
  my
• 4:57
  dear
• 4:57
  friend
• 4:58
  came
• 4:58
  with
• 4:58
  a
• 4:58
  small
• 4:59
  bouquet
• 4:59
  of
• 4:59
  flowers
• 4:59
  that
• 5:00
  perfectly
• 5:00
  match
• 5:01
  my
• 5:01
  table
• 5:01
  scape.
• 5:02
  I've
• 5:02
  had
• 5:02
  things
• 5:02
  like
• 5:02
  this
• 5:02
  happen
• 5:03
  way
• 5:03
  too
• 5:03
  many
• 5:03
  times
• 5:04
  to
• 5:04
  think
• 5:04
  that
• 5:05
  this
• 5:05
  was
• 5:05
  just
• 5:05
  a
• 5:05
  coincidence.
• 5:06
  God
• 5:06
  knew
• 5:07
  that
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  wanted
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  celebrate
• 5:08
  his
• 5:08
  resurrection
• 5:09
  and
• 5:09
  his
• 5:09
  kindness
• 5:10
  was
• 5:10
  so
• 5:10
  evident
• 5:10
  to
• 5:11
  me
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  that.
• 5:11
  As
• 5:11
  we
• 5:12
  begin
• 5:12
  reading
• 5:12
  these
• 5:12
  chapters
• 5:13
  about
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  tabernacle,
• 5:14
  we
• 5:14
  see
• 5:14
  that
• 5:14
  God
• 5:15
  values
• 5:15
  creativity
• 5:16
  and
• 5:17
  things
• 5:17
  work
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  skillfully
• 5:18
  onto
• 5:18
  him.
• 5:19
  That
• 5:19
  word
• 5:19
  skillfully
• 5:20
  is
• 5:21
  repeated
• 5:21
  over
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  over.
• 5:22
  God
• 5:23
  clearly
• 5:23
  reveals
• 5:24
  to
• 5:24
  Moses
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  pattern
• 5:25
  for
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  tabernacle
• 5:25
  that
• 5:26
  he
• 5:26
  wants
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  be
• 5:26
  built.
• 5:27
  This
• 5:27
  isn't
• 5:28
  just
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  copycat
• 5:28
  version
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  something
• 5:30
  they
• 5:30
  had
• 5:30
  seen.
• 5:31
  My
• 5:31
  moody
• 5:31
  commentary
• 5:32
  explains
• 5:32
  that
• 5:32
  there
• 5:32
  are
• 5:32
  five
• 5:33
  terms
• 5:33
  that
• 5:34
  were
• 5:34
  used
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  designate
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  tabernacle.
• 5:36
  Initially.
• 5:36
  It's
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  term
• 5:37
  sanctuary
• 5:38
  indicating
• 5:38
  that
• 5:38
  this
• 5:39
  is
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  place
• 5:39
  to
• 5:39
  be
• 5:39
  holy
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  set
• 5:40
  apart
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  Lord.
• 5:41
  Distinct
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  sacred.
• 5:43
  The
• 5:43
  profane
• 5:44
  and
• 5:44
  unclean
• 5:44
  are
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  be
• 5:45
  kept
• 5:45
  out.
• 5:46
  Everything
• 5:46
  about
• 5:46
  it
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  in
• 5:47
  it
• 5:47
  was
• 5:47
  devoted
• 5:48
  to
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  worship
• 5:48
  of
• 5:48
  the
• 5:49
  Lord,
• 5:49
  and
• 5:49
  it
• 5:49
  should
• 5:49
  be
• 5:49
  used
• 5:50
  for
• 5:50
  nothing
• 5:50
  else.
• 5:51
  Secondly,
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  term
• 5:52
  tabernacle
• 5:53
  comes
• 5:53
  from
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  term
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  dwell
• 5:54
  or
• 5:54
  to
• 5:55
  abide.
• 5:55
  This
• 5:55
  was
• 5:55
  a
• 5:56
  place
• 5:56
  for
• 5:56
  God
• 5:56
  to
• 5:56
  dwell
• 5:57
  among
• 5:57
  his
• 5:57
  people.
• 5:58
  Isn't
• 5:58
  it
• 5:58
  beautiful
• 5:59
  that
• 5:59
  tabernacle
• 6:00
  is
• 6:00
  actually
• 6:00
  a
• 6:00
  noun
• 6:01
  that
• 6:01
  comes
• 6:01
  from
• 6:02
  that
• 6:02
  verb
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  dwell
• 6:03
  or
• 6:03
  to
• 6:03
  abide?
• 6:03
  It
• 6:03
  makes
• 6:04
  me
• 6:04
  think
• 6:04
  of
• 6:04
  John
• 6:04
  chapter
• 6:05
  15
• 6:05
  when
• 6:05
  Jesus
• 6:06
  said,
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  am
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  vine
• 6:07
  and
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  are
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  branches.
• 6:08
  Apart
• 6:08
  from
• 6:09
  me,
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  can
• 6:09
  do
• 6:09
  nothing.
• 6:10
  And
• 6:10
  he
• 6:10
  calls
• 6:10
  us
• 6:10
  to
• 6:11
  abide
• 6:11
  in
• 6:11
  him.
• 6:11
  The
• 6:12
  third
• 6:12
  term
• 6:12
  is
• 6:12
  tent.
• 6:13
  this
• 6:13
  was
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  temporary
• 6:14
  and
• 6:14
  portable
• 6:14
  structure.
• 6:15
  Throughout
• 6:15
  these
• 6:16
  chapters,
• 6:16
  God
• 6:16
  describes
• 6:17
  how
• 6:17
  it
• 6:17
  will
• 6:17
  be
• 6:17
  easily
• 6:18
  packed
• 6:18
  up
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  moved,
• 6:19
  and
• 6:19
  that's
• 6:19
  beautiful
• 6:20
  because
• 6:20
  his
• 6:20
  presence
• 6:21
  isn't
• 6:21
  just
• 6:21
  limited
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  geographical
• 6:22
  location,
• 6:23
  it
• 6:24
  goes
• 6:24
  with
• 6:24
  his
• 6:24
  people.
• 6:25
  Fourthly,
• 6:25
  this
• 6:26
  is
• 6:26
  a
• 6:26
  attentive
• 6:26
  meeting
• 6:27
  and
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  purpose
• 6:27
  of
• 6:28
  these
• 6:28
  meetings
• 6:28
  is
• 6:28
  for
• 6:29
  worship.
• 6:29
  And
• 6:30
  finally,
• 6:30
  God
• 6:30
  uses
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  term
• 6:31
  tabernacle
• 6:32
  of
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  testimony.
• 6:33
  This
• 6:33
  place
• 6:33
  was
• 6:34
  to
• 6:34
  serve
• 6:34
  as
• 6:34
  a
• 6:35
  testimony
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  Lord's
• 6:36
  power
• 6:37
  promise
• 6:37
  and
• 6:37
  provision
• 6:38
  for
• 6:38
  relationship.
• 6:39
  It
• 6:39
  was
• 6:39
  to
• 6:39
  bless
• 6:40
  and
• 6:40
  build
• 6:40
  up
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  nation's
• 6:41
  relationship
• 6:41
  with
• 6:41
  him,
• 6:42
  and
• 6:42
  this
• 6:42
  tabernacle
• 6:43
  or
• 6:43
  dwelling
• 6:43
  place
• 6:44
  would
• 6:44
  set
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  nation
• 6:45
  of
• 6:45
  Israel
• 6:46
  apart.
• 6:46
  It's
• 6:46
  a
• 6:47
  focal
• 6:47
  point
• 6:47
  for
• 6:47
  them.
• 6:48
  And
• 6:48
  it
• 6:48
  reveals
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  entire
• 6:49
  purpose
• 6:49
  that
• 6:49
  God
• 6:50
  called
• 6:50
  them
• 6:50
  out
• 6:50
  of
• 6:50
  Egypt.
• 6:51
  For
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  John
• 6:51
  one
• 6:52
  14
• 6:52
  we're
• 6:53
  told,
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  word
• 6:53
  became
• 6:54
  flesh
• 6:54
  and
• 6:54
  dwelt
• 6:55
  among
• 6:55
  us,
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  we
• 6:56
  have
• 6:56
  seen
• 6:56
  His
• 6:56
  glory.
• 6:57
  Glory
• 6:57
  as
• 6:57
  of
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  only
• 6:58
  son
• 6:58
  from
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  Father
• 6:59
  full
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  grace
• 7:00
  and
• 7:00
  truth.
• 7:01
  That
• 7:01
  word
• 7:02
  dwelt
• 7:02
  among
• 7:02
  us
• 7:03
  is
• 7:03
  literally
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  tabernacle.
• 7:05
  Jesus
• 7:05
  is
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  fulfillment.
• 7:06
  So
• 7:07
  many
• 7:07
  elements
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  tabernacle
• 7:09
  will
• 7:09
  point
• 7:09
  to
• 7:10
  Jesus,
• 7:10
  and
• 7:11
  that's
• 7:11
  why
• 7:12
  worthy
• 7:12
  of
• 7:12
  our
• 7:12
  worship
• 7:13
  and
• 7:13
  our
• 7:13
  devotion,
• 7:14
  and
• 7:14
  it's
• 7:14
  beautiful
• 7:15
  to
• 7:15
  see
• 7:15
  that
• 7:15
  the
• 7:16
  people.
• 7:16
  When
• 7:16
  God
• 7:17
  calls
• 7:17
  them
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  bring
• 7:17
  a
• 7:17
  contribution,
• 7:18
  that
• 7:18
  their
• 7:19
  sacrifices
• 7:19
  actually
• 7:20
  exceeded
• 7:20
  what
• 7:21
  was
• 7:21
  needed.
• 7:21
  They
• 7:22
  had
• 7:22
  to
• 7:22
  be
• 7:22
  asked
• 7:22
  to
• 7:22
  stop
• 7:23
  donating
• 7:23
  so
• 7:24
  much.
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  bet
• 7:25
  every
• 7:25
  pastor
• 7:25
  has
• 7:26
  prayed
• 7:26
  that
• 7:26
  that
• 7:26
  would
• 7:26
  also
• 7:27
  happen
• 7:27
  in
• 7:27
  his
• 7:27
  congregation.
• 7:28
  some
• 7:29
  estimates
• 7:29
  predict
• 7:30
  it
• 7:30
  could
• 7:30
  have
• 7:30
  been
• 7:30
  between
• 7:31
  2020
• 7:32
  200
• 7:33
  pounds
• 7:33
  of
• 7:33
  gold,
• 7:34
  about
• 7:34
  7,500
• 7:35
  pounds
• 7:36
  of
• 7:36
  silver
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  5,300
• 7:38
  pounds
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  bronze.
• 7:38
  And
• 7:39
  where
• 7:39
  did
• 7:39
  this
• 7:39
  come
• 7:39
  from?
• 7:40
  Largely
• 7:41
  from
• 7:41
  what
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  Egyptians
• 7:42
  gave
• 7:42
  them
• 7:42
  on
• 7:42
  their
• 7:42
  way
• 7:43
  out.
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  love
• 7:44
  that
• 7:44
  they're
• 7:44
  giving
• 7:44
  it
• 7:44
  back
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  Lord
• 7:45
  so
• 7:45
  willingly,
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  that's
• 7:46
  our
• 7:46
  New
• 7:47
  Testament
• 7:47
  guide
• 7:47
  as
• 7:47
  well.
• 7:48
  God
• 7:48
  loves
• 7:49
  a
• 7:49
  cheerful
• 7:49
  giver.
• 7:50
  It's
• 7:50
  not
• 7:50
  a
• 7:50
  reason
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  hoard
• 7:51
  your
• 7:51
  money
• 7:51
  if
• 7:51
  you're
• 7:51
  not
• 7:51
  tearful
• 7:52
  about
• 7:52
  it.
• 7:52
  It's
• 7:52
  a
• 7:53
  reason
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  pray
• 7:53
  that
• 7:53
  God
• 7:54
  would
• 7:54
  give
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  heart
• 7:54
  to
• 7:55
  give
• 7:55
  we're
• 7:55
  gonna
• 7:55
  get
• 7:56
  more
• 7:56
  into
• 7:56
  these
• 7:56
  tabernacle
• 7:57
  elements
• 7:58
  in
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  next
• 7:58
  couple
• 7:58
  episodes,
• 7:59
  but
• 7:59
  In
• 7:59
  chapter
• 8:00
  25,
• 8:00
  26
• 8:01
  and
• 8:01
  27,
• 8:02
  God
• 8:02
  repeatedly
• 8:03
  tells
• 8:03
  Moses,
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  shall
• 8:04
  build,
• 8:05
  you
• 8:05
  shall
• 8:05
  make.
• 8:06
  And
• 8:06
  then
• 8:06
  finally,
• 8:07
  in
• 8:07
  28,
• 8:07
  3,
• 8:08
  I
• 8:08
  am
• 8:08
  breathing
• 8:08
  a
• 8:09
  sigh
• 8:09
  of
• 8:09
  relief
• 8:09
  with
• 8:09
  Moses.
• 8:10
  When
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  read,
• 8:11
  You
• 8:11
  shall
• 8:11
  speak
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  all
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  skillful
• 8:13
  whom
• 8:13
  I
• 8:13
  have
• 8:13
  filled
• 8:14
  with
• 8:14
  the
• 8:14
  spirit
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  skill
• 8:15
  that
• 8:15
  they
• 8:15
  may
• 8:16
  make
• 8:16
  Aaron's
• 8:16
  garments
• 8:17
  to
• 8:17
  consecrate
• 8:17
  him
• 8:18
  for
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  priesthood.
• 8:18
  And
• 8:19
  then
• 8:19
  God
• 8:19
  keeps
• 8:20
  using
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  word
• 8:20
  they.
• 8:20
  I
• 8:21
  don't
• 8:21
  know
• 8:21
  if
• 8:21
  it
• 8:21
  was
• 8:21
  clear
• 8:21
  to
• 8:22
  Moses
• 8:22
  from
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  start
• 8:23
  that
• 8:23
  God
• 8:23
  wasn't
• 8:23
  asking
• 8:24
  him
• 8:24
  to
• 8:24
  do
• 8:24
  all
• 8:24
  of
• 8:24
  this,
• 8:25
  but
• 8:25
  considering
• 8:26
  all
• 8:26
  of
• 8:26
  the
• 8:26
  roles
• 8:26
  he
• 8:26
  has
• 8:27
  fulfilled
• 8:27
  for
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  people
• 8:27
  thus
• 8:28
  far,
• 8:28
  I
• 8:28
  can
• 8:29
  just
• 8:29
  imagine
• 8:29
  him
• 8:29
  feeling
• 8:29
  overwhelmed
• 8:30
  as
• 8:30
  God
• 8:31
  gave
• 8:31
  these
• 8:31
  directions.
• 8:32
  But
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  Lord
• 8:33
  even
• 8:33
  has
• 8:33
  a
• 8:33
  beautiful
• 8:34
  plan
• 8:34
  for
• 8:34
  how
• 8:34
  his
• 8:35
  dwelling
• 8:35
  place
• 8:35
  is
• 8:35
  going
• 8:35
  to
• 8:35
  be
• 8:35
  built.
• 8:36
  Right
• 8:36
  before
• 8:37
  that
• 8:37
  in
• 8:37
  28,
• 8:37
  2,
• 8:38
  God
• 8:38
  says,
• 8:39
  you
• 8:39
  shall
• 8:39
  make
• 8:39
  holy
• 8:40
  garments
• 8:40
  for
• 8:40
  Aaron,
• 8:40
  your
• 8:41
  brother,
• 8:41
  for
• 8:41
  glory
• 8:42
  and
• 8:42
  for
• 8:42
  beauty.
• 8:43
  It's
• 8:43
  woven
• 8:44
  throughout
• 8:44
  these
• 8:44
  chapters
• 8:45
  that
• 8:45
  our
• 8:45
  God
• 8:45
  is
• 8:45
  a
• 8:45
  God
• 8:45
  of
• 8:45
  purpose,
• 8:46
  creativity,
• 8:47
  and
• 8:47
  beauty.
• 8:48
  He
• 8:48
  is
• 8:48
  worthy
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  our
• 8:49
  full
• 8:49
  pursuit
• 8:50
  and
• 8:50
  our
• 8:50
  worship.
• 8:51
  Let's
• 8:51
  pray.
• 8:52
  Heavenly
• 8:52
  Father,
• 8:53
  we
• 8:53
  praise
• 8:54
  you
• 8:54
  for
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  opportunity
• 8:55
  to
• 8:55
  come
• 8:55
  before
• 8:55
  you.
• 8:56
  I
• 8:56
  pray
• 8:56
  for
• 8:57
  humility
• 8:57
  in
• 8:57
  our
• 8:57
  hearts
• 8:58
  that
• 8:58
  we
• 8:59
  would
• 8:59
  be
• 8:59
  abundantly
• 9:00
  grateful
• 9:01
  for
• 9:01
  what
• 9:01
  Jesus
• 9:01
  purchased
• 9:02
  for
• 9:02
  us,
• 9:03
  that
• 9:03
  we
• 9:03
  can
• 9:03
  approach
• 9:04
  your
• 9:04
  throne
• 9:04
  of
• 9:04
  grace
• 9:04
  with
• 9:05
  confidence
• 9:06
  because
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  his
• 9:06
  sacrifice.
• 9:08
  As
• 9:08
  we
• 9:08
  read
• 9:08
  about
• 9:08
  your
• 9:09
  beautiful
• 9:09
  and
• 9:09
  intentional
• 9:10
  plans
• 9:10
  for
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  Israelites,
• 9:11
  we're
• 9:12
  grateful
• 9:12
  you
• 9:12
  made
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  way
• 9:13
  then
• 9:13
  and
• 9:14
  we're
• 9:14
  grateful
• 9:14
  that
• 9:15
  we
• 9:15
  were
• 9:15
  born
• 9:15
  after
• 9:15
  the
• 9:16
  cross,
• 9:17
  but
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  pray
• 9:17
  that
• 9:17
  we
• 9:18
  would
• 9:18
  never
• 9:18
  take
• 9:18
  this
• 9:18
  privilege
• 9:19
  for
• 9:19
  granted.
• 9:20
  And
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  particularly
• 9:21
  pray
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  you
• 9:21
  would
• 9:21
  guide
• 9:22
  us
• 9:22
  in
• 9:22
  how
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  parent
• 9:23
  our
• 9:23
  children,
• 9:24
  that
• 9:24
  we
• 9:24
  could
• 9:24
  model
• 9:25
  that
• 9:25
  this
• 9:25
  is
• 9:25
  our
• 9:26
  greatest
• 9:26
  honor
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  that
• 9:27
  it
• 9:27
  would
• 9:27
  also
• 9:28
  be
• 9:28
  theirs.
• 9:29
  I
• 9:29
  pray
• 9:29
  that
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  availability
• 9:30
  of
• 9:30
  your
• 9:30
  word
• 9:31
  not
• 9:31
  lead
• 9:31
  us
• 9:31
  to
• 9:32
  neglect
• 9:32
  it.
• 9:33
  Teach
• 9:33
  us
• 9:33
  to
• 9:33
  guide
• 9:34
  our
• 9:34
  children
• 9:34
  into
• 9:34
  treasuring
• 9:35
  your
• 9:35
  words.
• 9:36
  I
• 9:36
  ask
• 9:37
  That
• 9:37
  even
• 9:37
  at
• 9:37
  young
• 9:38
  ages,
• 9:39
  they
• 9:39
  would
• 9:39
  serve
• 9:39
  you
• 9:39
  with
• 9:40
  regular
• 9:40
  devotion,
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  you
• 9:41
  would
• 9:41
  refine
• 9:42
  their
• 9:42
  character
• 9:43
  so
• 9:43
  that
• 9:43
  they
• 9:43
  would
• 9:44
  have
• 9:44
  consistent
• 9:44
  walks
• 9:45
  with
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  that
• 9:46
  stem
• 9:46
  from
• 9:47
  an
• 9:47
  understanding
• 9:48
  that
• 9:48
  nothing
• 9:48
  satisfies
• 9:50
  like
• 9:50
  your
• 9:50
  presence.
• 9:51
  It
• 9:51
  is
• 9:51
  in
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  name
• 9:52
  of
• 9:52
  the
• 9:53
  one
• 9:53
  that
• 9:53
  lives
• 9:54
  to
• 9:54
  intercede
• 9:54
  for
• 9:55
  us.
• 9:55
  Jesus
• 9:56
  Christ
• 9:56
  that
• 9:56
  we
• 9:56
  pray.
• 9:57
  Amen.
